Bufuddled Race



the disturbed distracted with

alarming bother

flustered, discomfort hung

over the place

discourage was wielded and welded

unchaste without calmness of character

dispirited gave chase

undaunted, unteachable, without hearing,

their churning

unimpeachable throne rooms stood steady

at ready to battle, but never

to topple

the unstoppable

theory- of -all- Things

by We -the -people that hurry

all blurry to make you look Bad

again today, the spiritual found

it all in saddest of taste

undogmatized, they made haste - to pray

but many fell down in amongst the crowds

where clouds of error had formed begun to

hold them in place

the race cancelled on such a bad array

of long-winded, unfounded

their clothes not abounded

with hymns anymore (Rv 3) and they had to

start over au revoir

from the beginning - ground floor (1Cor 3)
